[ Upstream commitdccc0c3ddf] Some rc device drivers have a race condition between rc_unregister_device() and irq or urb callbacks. This is because rc_unregister_device() does two things, it marks the device as unregistered so no new commands can be issued and then it calls rc_free_device(). This means the driver has no chance to cancel any pending urb callbacks or interrupts after the device has been marked as unregistered. Those callbacks may access struct rc_dev or its members (e.g. struct ir_raw_event_ctrl), which have been freed by rc_free_device(). This change removes the implicit call to rc_free_device() from rc_unregister_device(). This means that device drivers can call rc_unregister_device() in their remove or disconnect function, then cancel all the urbs and interrupts before explicitly calling rc_free_device(). Note this is an alternative fix for an issue found by Haotian Zhang, see the Closes: tags.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
